Why should he go out and spend his hard-earned money on a digital audio recorder when simply drawing the sinewaves he hears would suffice?
It would also be much more accurate. He could superimpose the images over a reference drawing of what he believes the sound should look like, and see which one is more off...
Umm... the answer took 7 and a half million years to calculate. Then the second most powerful computer in the ongoing history of the universe only took a few thousand years to design the most powerful computer in the history of the universe, which could derive the question in a mere 10 million years.
Because if they say they were compromised they can take down the binaries until they've verified that they weren't tampered with.
However, if they just took down possibly-modified binaries without an explanation, people would ask questions and require answers they dont' want to give.
Therefore, currently they leave up the possibly infected binaries so that they dont' have to disclose their servers were compromised.
Nintendo should repeatedly flash a big bright RTFM
At approximately 2Hz, right?
Right below the RTFM they could put a warning like 'If you can't read this without getting a seizure, you shouldn't be playing any games on this system'
However, State of Emergency and Manhunt were quite complete (IMHO) and not very, if at all, buggy. At least not that were visibly/playably noticeable.
Although, SoE didn't really have a plot, it didn't have to. It was not meant to have a plot, it is a time-based 3rd-person shooter. It is meant to be played like arcade games, 3-5 mins of fun per play. My record is about 1h45min on 3min Kaos mode, so as you play more you get better.
I don't know whether 2-wheeled vehicles were an engine limitation or not
I don't know, and it's really moot whether or not 2-whelled vehicles were a limitation...
I think Rockstart probably had much more difficulty with the user-controlled helicopter.
(The plane which you could fly I don't count, as you could do that with the dodo in GTA3)
"What are you?"
"I'm a seal"
"And what do you do?"
"I swim around and do cute little human tricks with my fins"
"You're free to go. Now you, what are you?"
"I'm a cow"
"Get on the truck"
Technically you'd use the following with no apostrophes: Windows driver writers.
The subjective noun is 'writers' (as there are many of them, you use a plural scope, but it's not possessive in any way). 'driver' in this case is an adjective modifying writers, as in they are writers of drivers. 'Windows' is an adjective modifying drivers, as in they are writers of drivers for Windows.
Windows must be capitalized as it is trademarked as such.
If you're going to go to the trouble to tell people that POS is not an acronym for piece of shit, you could at least have mentioned that it does does stand for Point of Sale (in this case)
Otherwise, I agree wholeheartedly, mod parent up and all that jazz...
You know, you CAN use the open-source NV-drivers that ship with Xfree. Or you could use the standard VESA-drivers. So it's not like you are forced to use those drivers. I for one haven't had any problems with NV-drivers.
He could; if he was talking about video card drivers. He is not, however.
He is talking about the N-force motherboard chipset drivers.

Maybe they'll remove all the breakable parts...
What, like the cheap POS DVD-ROM drive that starts getting the infamous 'Disc Read Error'?
I've already had two systems get that.

I'm down with that...
I feel like chicken tonight....like radioactive chicken tonight....chicken tonight!
Eww... you eat the cock?
And even worse, it's green!!!
In Capitalist America, the Russian Babe rides YOU!
For a fee... of course...
Or possibly for a green card?

Well currently people can do that:
*man looks at his watch* "What time is it Palmela?"
"Wow, 1 bit!"
Being about the size of a quarter, wouldn't it be 2 bits?
But that's OK, cuz 'redundant' was put in twice.
And it got modded (-1:Troll, +1:Informative, +2 Insightful), then got re-posted the next day.
Yes, I also saw the dictionary Slashdot released.
I'd like to see someone come out with a Firewire or USB2 raid controller
You could try this, this, or this
Google is your friend
Personally I prefer the Silent Hill dreams...
Although they generally happen mid-afternoon and result in less sleep...
Oh well...
You are in a twisty maze of processor lines, all alike.
There is a lot of hype here.
> Kill lot of hype
You attack lot of hype. You miss
lot of hype counters with Marketing Drones
You die...

Except that !!true === true
You *can't* prove a negative.
Prove it...

Which reminds me of a Denis Leary sketch...

"I'm a seal"
"And what do you do?"
"I swim around and do cute little human tricks with my fins"
"You're free to go. Now you, what are you?"
"I'm a cow"

Maybe you should take a little bit longer look

Why not use an Illudium Q36 Explosive Space Modulator?
Because that creates an Earth-shattering KA-BOOM!!
Sadly, no variant currently in production at ACME Inc. creates an asteriod-shattering Ka-Boom.
Maybe someone should look into developing something like that?
Yes, preparation-H does feel good on the (w)hole...
